What documents are needed to get married here?
Catholics are asked to provide a recently issued baptismal certificate. (The original copy is not sufficient because it does not carry notations – as, for example, information about a prior marriage. Getting a newly issued baptismal certificate is one way of establishing a Catholic’s freedom to marry.) A recently issued certificate may be obtained by contacting the church of your Baptism. We can assist you in finding contact information if necessary. In the event that there are absolutely no baptismal documents available, Marc can help you to obtain an Affidavit of Baptism.
